KISS ME HARDY
‘Kiss me Hardy’
‘Piss off Nelson, don’t be foolhardy’
‘Oh come on Hardy – right here on the deck’
‘I’m sorry - no Nelson!
but …………….. oh what the heck!
But mind ‘cos I’ve got full nautical dress on
which really I don’t want to get any blood on’
‘Okay then Hardy – your concern I respect
What do you say to Just a quick peck? ’

In that battle where he fell
He could not get up and yell
So the words were then misheard
Kismet Hardy was the word.
Good fun write Michael. There is a theory that Nelson did in fact say "Kismet Hardy".
If he did say Kismet then he lost out - cheers Andy.
Slap and tickle? Or not going that far? Was Hardy in a mood?! heehee. Good write M.
He was just playing Hardy Orchi - he was a bit of a plank!
Kiss your what?
My Hardy - err !!
At your age, ... prove it!
Well the mind is willing but....!
Now THAT is kismet!
Thank you Michael.
What a refreshing and witty look at Lord Nelson's last moments.
Super write.
Keep writing

Thanks FB - I often wonder if he ever did get that kiss.
Love the craft, turned out perfect. Enjoy the light writing.
I just love light verse Milligan, Hegley, McGough et al - thanks m&m
Judging from this shorty, maybe you should write a whole history book! It would definitely get more kids to love history!
Good idea Fred - Perhaps I should enlist Orchidee for some insights.
Not a bad idea since he was there!!! Question is, how much does he remember, all that sherry you know.........killing brain cells.....
